Papyrus appears as a tall lengthy skeleton with a small toothy grin, skeletal hands and small eye sockets. He wears an orange hoodie and gray shorts with a pair of orange sneakers.Papyrus is laid back and flippant, often fooling around on the job and taking breaks. His laziness is a combination of nihilism and apathy. He wonders if his indolence stems of from his knowledge that any progress he makes will be erased when the timeline resets. he also says jokes or puns.
